Hello, Primary election day! As in past years, I will attempt to collect Cambridge election results from machine tapes as polls close or tapes are posted at the Senior Center. (But many races go outside #cambma boundaries, so value of this is limited!) Google Sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The T is broken because the Legislature is broken. We deserve reliable, safe and affordable public transit, but the Massachusetts Legislature has neglected the MBTA for decades. I am running to invest in building a state that works for all of us.

A great city needs leadership that shares our values, leadership that can anticipate the future and ensure that all residents share in it. A leader brave enough to stand up to bullies & blaze the path forward. That’s why I’m voting for @wutrain.bsky.social Mayor Wu on primary day.

Good discussion here Has anyone done studies on Connecticut? I feel like the only person who looked into (and rode) CTtransit buses when they were free from 2022 to 2023. It was incredibly successful!

In Massachusetts our clean energy climate plan is being implemented by the #mapoli MBTA removing these zero emissions trolley buses, dragging its feet on rail electrification & incentivizing auto trips by slow walking the Red Blue Connector.

Should a bright, warm day on Newbury St. mean hundreds of people squeeze onto the sidewalk next to noisy, congested cars? I don’t think so. We should look into pedestrianizing this area, allowing everyone to enjoy the streetscape, like we do in the summer! @mayorwu.boston.gov

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge. We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style Here’s the details 🧵

the email the sender

email from Mayor Michelle Wu that reads:

Since taking office, we have invested more in making housing affordable than any other administration in Boston history.

In my first full year as mayor, gun violence fell to the lowest level on record in Boston history — and it’s kept falling.

Together, we expanded Boston’s Pre-K and early education to serve more families and children than ever before.

My administration has led on green energy, saving residents and businesses more than $230 million in energy costs, securing funding for thousands of new jobs to protect Boston’s coastline, and doubling the number of trees planted on Boston’s streets every year.

We boosted public transit ridership in the city through fare-free bus lines.

We settled a collective bargaining process with law enforcement that set a national standard for accountability and community policing.

And finally, a few numbers:

20 new or newly-renovated public parks.
90 new small businesses supported in revitalizing formerly vacant neighborhood retail spaces, creating…
800 new jobs.
18,000 potholes filled.
700 families helped to become first-time homeowners.

Mayor Wu and Baby Mira arrive at Boston City Hall. Some bikes are parked by the brick exterior of the building.

At today’s Cambridge City Council hearing on collaborations between the city and state agencies, I noted the continual inaccessibility of MBTA stations. I hopped on the Red Line afterward and saw this at Porter..(1/2)

Not spending a ton of time on social media at the moment but worth reading this great thread about recent Mem Drive discussions. Glad DCR at least acknowledged the concern internally.

I think this is a big reason Philly's Open Streets events have done so well: it creates a safe space for kids and families. Normally it's tricky to get a stroller down a sidewalk, but open streets lets parents comfortably window shop while their kids play.

A photo of multiple parents with strollers in front of an Urban Outfitters store. A kid rides a small bike. Another kid pushes a stroller.

Kids running around and sitting on chairs in the middle of Walnut Street. Other people walk down the street. Christmas decorations are setup on the sides of the street.

Worth noting it was in the 30s F this morning! With proper infrastructure (and proper maintenance) more people can feel comfortable biking even in chilly and slushy conditions (and of course, there's no shame in choosing other options in inclement weather!)

Both of these vehicles took one person to the grocery store for a small bag of groceries today. Due to the way the U.S. has forced car dependency with sprawl & unsafe streets, it’s considered odd to select the vehicle on the left for this task.

Doubly obscene that these cuts are framed as a ‘budget balancing’ effort aimed as ‘sustainability’… Meanwhile the university made $85 million dollars in operating profit and had its endowment grow by $3.5 BILLION this year.
